A Message from Our Principal

Dear Nathan Hale Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I’m incredibly honored and excited to continue serving the Nathan Hale Elementary School community as your principal.

Over the past nine years with Meriden Public Schools, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know the amazing students and families here. I remain deeply committed to providing every child with a high-quality education in a school environment where students, families, and staff feel welcomed, valued, and respected.

As your principal, I will continue to lead with partnership, active listening, and a steadfast commitment to advocating for our students and the dedicated educators who support their academic and social-emotional growth. At Nathan Hale, students are always at the heart of every decision we make.

I truly believe that Nathan Hale is home to the best students, families, and staff. I’m excited to build on the great work we've already begun and to achieve even more—together. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with thoughts, questions, or feedback at any time.

Wishing you a year filled with health, happiness, and success!

Warmly,
Eric Rank
Principal
